Check out our latest work led by the very talented PhD student @MarinaPapaiak on the genomic diversity of soil-transmitted helminths. Lots of neat results and implications for molecular diagnostics moving forward. Lots more coming from us in this space! 👇
Our preprint is now out on BioRxiv! #STHs #worms #diagnostics #helminths
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
⁉️ How are parasitic worms linked globally, and how reliable are our current diagnostic targets and qPCR assays?
Let me take you through a journey 🧵 1/
Celebrating another lap of the "science sun" this week, that being, 11 years in the UK and 6 years as a Group Leader and #UKRIFLF at the @sangerinstitute .
Many thanks to my team, both at Sanger and abroad, for asking big questions and pushing into new spaces. Thanks to an ever-growing collaborative network all around the world - the work we do together is far more exciting than what can be done alone.
And finally, thanks to our funders for sharing our vision and allowing us the opportunity to do exciting science.

New preprint! 🥳
Sex-biased transcriptional rewiring of neuronal circuits associated with eprinomectin resistance in Haemonchus contortus biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Exciting to see our latest manuscript, now published in @ScienceAdvances .
Many congratulations to Duncan - a long-awaited chapter of his PhD is done - and to the broader collaborative team, without whom these large multidisciplinary studies could not be done.

🚨 Heartworm history runs deeper than human influence! 🚨Our 5+ years of research on 🐶 Dirofilaria immitis reveal patterns that challenge long‑held assumptions about how it spreads.
